Babe’s Chicken Dinner House
Restaurant, American, Vegetarian, $$$
Babe’s Chicken Dinner House started out as one restaurant in the neighboring city of Roanoke, established by Paul and Mary Beth Vinyard in 1993. It has since grown into a successful locally owned restaurant group of nine branches across the Fort Worth-Dallas area, including its Arlington location which opened in November 2010. Offering guests Texas country-style fried chicken dishes in an interior full of kitsch-chic Western fittings, Babe’s must-try menu items include its famous fried chicken and delicious fried catfish. These can be accompanied by sides like buttermilk biscuits and cream gravy, and topped off with indulgent desserts like chocolate meringue pie.
